Command to search where is the config file of apache in Mint

Question

I use Mint and I often do

sudo....
apt-get install xxx

It works but later I never know where xxx was installed. I would like to edit-reconfigure my apache 'r root document to use with cakephp but I don't know how.

Answer 1

Does this do what you want?

apt-file show apache2

As a last resort

sudo find / -name httpd.conf

Update:

  `find / -name httpd | grep "bin.*httpd"` -V | egrep 'ROOT|CONFIG'

should produce something like

   -D HTTPD_ROOT="/etc/httpd"
   -D AP_TYPES_CONFIG_FILE="conf/mime.types"
   -D SERVER_CONFIG_FILE="conf/httpd.conf"

Unless you have lots of httpd files in bin directories.

Otherwise you can scrutinise the contents of startup scripts such as /etc/init.d/httpd or /etc/init.d/apache*
